Installing the Switch

Wall-Mounting (with Mounting Screws)

Mount the switch with the front panel facing down (as shown in

Figure 3-5 on page 3-13

and

Figure 3-6

on page 3-14

.)

Warning

Read the wall-mounting instructions carefully before beginning installation. Failure to use the
correct hardware or to follow the correct procedures could result in a hazardous situation to people
and damage to the system.
Statement 378

Caution

Do not wall-mount the switch with its front panel facing up or sideways. According to safety regulations,
wall-mount the switch with its front panel facing down to improve airflow and to provide easier access
to the cables.

Step 1

Locate the screw template. The template is used to align the mounting screw holes.

Step 2

Position the screw template so that the two side-by-side slots face toward the floor, as shown in

Figure 3-5

.

For the best support of the switch and cables, make sure the switch is attached securely to a wall stud or
to a firmly attached plywood mounting backboard.

Note

Wait before you attach the screw template to the wall.
